"No time to explain!" Ren said to her while holding a torch and swimming forward. "After discovering that you are missing, those soldiers will definitely search on the spot and check my carriage. I must go back quickly and not expose the truth. They will
They suspect me and the carriage driver, and even spy on us. So you need to stay in this cave until I eliminate the suspicion, find a chance to return, and then send you to the beach. You have to stay in this cave for a while, as long as you don't go outside,
Absolutely safe.”
While talking, he climbed up the steps, left the sunken area, came to the dry passage floor, placed a small wooden box made on the spot, and put some barbecue and water inside: "There is food and water inside the box, and there is concealed ventilation outside.
Come on, stay here and wait for me to come back!"
"Who are you?" the princess of the sea clan looked up in the "pond" and asked.
Ren turned back: "I am an ordinary adventurer who can't understand what Baron Andrew has done!"
After saying that, he didn't even look back and ran to the other side of the passage quickly.
The sea princess looked back at this strange underground passage and recalled the hole he had just blocked. She thought to herself that if she could do such a thing, how could she be an ordinary adventurer? She was at least a very powerful earth magician of level five or above.
At the baron's army camp, the generals and soldiers who led the team heard the sound of water and rushed to the "water truck" without knowing what was happening.
"What's the sound?" General Manado asked loudly.
The soldier was full of doubts. He raised his torch and carefully inspected the bottom of the "water truck". He thought that the water truck was leaking, but after a closer look, he found that the bottom of the truck was intact. Although there were some water stains on the ground, there was nothing particularly strange.
Reported to Manado and found nothing suspicious.
Manado did hear the clear sound of water just now, and it was from this direction. He always felt something was wrong, so he boarded the "water truck" and looked inside from the roof.
It didn't matter what he saw. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he exclaimed: "Where are the people?!"
The soldiers quickly climbed up to check and found that not only the sea princess had disappeared, but also the water in the car was missing, which was incredible.
In panic, he quickly searched around. The camp was heavily guarded. Where did the sea princess and the water in the car go?
When the search failed, Manado became furious.
The men were terrified. After all, the Sea Tribe Princess was lost and Baron Andrew was blamed. Everyone would suffer.
Some people suspected that the Princess of the Sea Tribe used water magic to fly out of the car by taking advantage of the water in the car. As soon as he suggested it, Manado called him a fool. If the Princess of the Sea Tribe had such ability, she would have run away long ago. Why wait until now?
Then some people wondered whether an earth magician dug a hole from below to rescue the sea princess. However, they could not explain that the bottom of the "water truck" was not damaged, but the water inside and the sea princess disappeared inexplicably.
"Could it be related to the carriage over there?" One of his subordinates pointed to Adam's car, and Manado immediately sent someone over to investigate.
Because he spent some time next to the car, when the army sent people over, Renn had already left the cave in advance and quietly returned to the carriage.
In the system setting, the leather armor is waterproof, so when you come back, your whole body will be quite dry and the moisture will automatically recede.
Adam was still sleeping soundly and had no idea what was happening.
Ren entered the car, lay down and pretended to be sleeping deeply.
After a while, two soldiers approached and kept patting the carriage.
Adam woke up first and rubbed his sleepy eyes. When he saw the soldiers holding torches outside, he quickly reached out and pushed Ren next to him: "Wake up! Wake up!"
Ren pretended to be sleepy and refused to open his eyes. He even slapped Ada's hand and said angrily: "Don't make any noise, let me sleep!"
"Don't sleep! Someone is coming!" Adam pulled him up anxiously.
Then Ren opened his eyes in a daze: "What are you doing? It's not dawn yet..."
"You two!" the soldier said with a serious expression, "Come out!"
"Okay, okay, we'll come out right away!" Adam didn't dare to provoke the Storm City soldiers. He was just a poor man with a much lower status. So he quickly pulled Ren outside and faced the soldiers with respect, "Big brothers, what's wrong?
"
"Go check the carriage!" One of the soldiers looked at Adam and Renn and asked his companions to search.
"Okay!" The other soldier searched the carriage inside and out, front and back, and came back shaking his head in disappointment.
"Have you two been resting here?" the soldier holding the torch asked seriously.
"Yes, sir!" Adam nodded repeatedly, "We have been sleeping in the car."
"Did anyone suspicious pass by?"
"Suspicious person?" Adam shook his head, "No! We were sleeping soundly when you woke us up. What happened?"
The two soldiers looked at Adam and Renn carefully, then whispered, and then took Renn's adventurer ID card and Adam's civilian ID card to look at them carefully.
After a while, one of them stayed to watch them, while the other ran back to the camp and reported to Manado: "General, there is nothing suspicious in that carriage. They are adventurers and poor carriage drivers who are preparing to go to the Warcraft Forest."
Manado frowned when he heard this, thought carefully and then said: "They are the only ones nearby, and they are very suspicious. This matter is not trivial, and no one can be trusted easily. In this way, the two of you are responsible for monitoring the carriage until you are sure that the other party is indeed involved in this matter.
It’s irrelevant.”
"Yes!" The soldier quickly returned to Rennes and Adam's carriage and said to the two of them, "We will escort the two of you to the Warcraft Forest for the next journey, and then escort the car back to Storm City."
"Ah?" Adam was a little scared, "Isn't it necessary? Sir, what happened?"
The two soldiers didn't say much and asked Ren and Adam to go to bed quickly. They also made bunks on the ground around the carriage.
"What's going on?" Back inside the carriage, Adam's face was full of confusion.
Of course Ren knew the reason. If the other party hadn't been unable to find any evidence or any suspicious points here, he and Adam would have been arrested and tortured. Even so, the other party was still suspicious, and it seemed that it would last for some time.
Monitor.
So he left the sea tribe princess in the cave without taking her out, just to prevent the other party from discovering any clues.
Over at the camp, in order to find the princess of the sea tribe, Manado ordered to start digging in the wet land under the "water truck".
Even if the possibility is very low, you still have to dig deep.
As you can imagine, Wren's sandbox game system can restore the bottom of the "water truck" to its original state, and can also make the dirt cubes fit perfectly with the original terrain. Digging three feet into the ground is useless unless you dig all the way to the hole.
Manado was very angry after digging for a long time and still found nothing suspicious. He could only choose to believe that there were other water or wind magicians who secretly rescued the sea princess.
